With a lot of characters and a couple timelines this one could get a little confusing. I loved the story though! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Memorial weekend plans! Hello summer ☀️

I think I‘m going to have a little more reading time this week so my ambition for my #weeklyforecast is kind of high.

I only have 18 minutes left in U is for Undertow so will definitely be starting TGOG.

Still 2/3 to go in #murdertrending but it‘s a fast paced read. I‘m sure I will knock out the 2 volumes of Giant Days and the children‘s book too. I think I can also read the Rice and maybe get started on the Stedman. 🤞🏻

I‘m a little late with my #bookreport due to my husband being a distraction (I mean this in a loving and funny way!).

📖I finished The Bus On Thursday. It was weird, but a pick.
🎧I‘m 67% through my reread of the tagged book. I have completely forgotten what exactly happens in this one.
📖I‘m a third of the way through #murdertrending and wondering if I have something figured out already. I really like it so far.
🎧TGOG is still on deck.

This series is always a great palate cleanser for me. The audiobooks are excellent and each new mystery gives us a little more info on Kinsey‘s background. A random memory of “pirates” leads a man to hire Kinsey to try and solve a cold case of a kidnapped little girl. The hippie couple were obnoxious, but it was interesting to switch to different points of view and time periods in the story. I loved learning more about the aunt who raised Kinsey.

#LitsyAtoZ - #LetterU - Spending time with Kinsey is always entertaining!

Sue Grafton never disappoints! What I liked about this one was jumping back and forth between different characters' perspectives (which I believe she did in S is for Silence too). Also, after finishing the book, I had to scroll back through my Litsy to see if I had actually posted about this before, as I remembered just enough of the plot and characters to make me think I had read this recently. 😅

It should come as no surprise that I would have another Sue Grafton reread in my queue. 🙂 (and yes, that's my duvet cover. I read before going to bed).

U is too close to the end of the alphabet. Love our Kinsey Millhone.

Some of my more recent #CaliforniaLove reads. LA | SF | Hollywood | Santa Rosa Some real. Some fictional. Some fantastical. #90sInJuly

My kobo stats are looking quite impressive! Enjoying the last few books of the Sue Grafton series, definitely an improvement on the first twenty books. Onwards to V for #LitsyAtoZ - can't believe I'm almost done with the challenge!

One of my favorite in the series.

Kinsey Millhone takes on a case involving two child abductions twenty years ago and finds out more about her own childhood. It was ok, dragged a little in parts. Rating: 3/5.

I love me some Kinsey Milhone! These mysteries are taught, fun, and make me wish I lived on the California coast in the 1980s. I love the narrator of the audio books, and almost always read them that way. Longer review at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1352020226. Feel free to add me there too!

Starting up a new audiobook. It's been close to 25 years since I listened to the first Kinsey story. Every year or so I listen to a few more. Only a few to go. Love them!

The 1st half of this novel was problematic for me as there were multiple plot lines, & I couldn't get invested in all the characters. I do love Kinsey! I listened to this, which may have impacted my opinion of the disjointed first half. I'll read more but in text rather than audio format. 3.5 ⭐️s

Current audiobook: Over halfway through & the multiple plot lines are finally coming together (around chapters 17/18), which is making it easier to listen to and more interesting.

New audiobook for morning strolls with the wee one. This is my first Grafton novel, and I'm hooked so far!!
